To beat RoS users while using a RoBF i reckon you have 3 options.
Option 1: Train massive amounts into DM, this is not a good tactic late game without retrain.
Option 2: Find their other damage dealers and counter them with items or EO spells (AMF/EC)
Option 3: Make your minion a tank (mage requires alot of xp) to add more damage to your offence.

Hmm, which of those 3 options seems most applicable to my situation? I am still in the process of paying off a debt so I can't really do a tank right now... And I don't have enough EXP on my non-main minions to have an effective DM/AMF/EC... I guess... I fail.. :(

Well, I don't really want to look at your strat and figure out the best logistics for changing it.

But I will tell you this:

RoS teams by nature have 3-4 minions and obviously did not dedicate their tattoo for offense. This means that vast majority of RoS teams that capitalize their EDs have a weak offense.

This means that the best approach is simply to nullify their offense, it's much easier than running into their HP/GA advantage. Backlash damage is one way, damage reduction + TSA for the stale is another.

Of course you must make sure that you are losing because they are capitalizing on their EDs. If that is not the case, you might want to consider that it is not the RoS that is beating you but rather another strategic concept.

I'm pretty good against RoS/GA teams, which is supposedly the great weakness of an archer team. But then I do lower damage thanks to the Mageseeker, have a lot of HP and lately have a ToE, which I understand blocks the returned damage from GA, because it is 'physical' damage. I also have no enchantments and everything pretty much in physical stats. That can make a big difference against a lot of strats.

But, and this sounds like a stupid and obvious thing to say, I appear to have the ability to last longer than them.

See, a big ELB team wins because it does big damage, mostly, pure and simple. But A RoS team digs in deep. It's a bit like the RBF as well, it has to last and then just chip away at you, slowly but surely.

If that's what is beating you, then you've only a couple of options. Move the RBF so it can last longer, or increase your damage somehow.

Also, a huge investment in DM can leave you vulnerable to teams that aren't using enchantments, because it lowers your effective XP. That is, if you have a 3 mill lvl DM and you're up against say an archer team without any spells then you're smaller by the amount of XP it takes.
